So the curtain was brought down on Friends<\/i> last night. It was kinda nostalgic watching it. I mean, it was all the rage when it first came out 10 years ago, and I was what? 16 then? Yes, so now everyone knows how old I am. But I’m still 25…going on 26 in Nov. Heh.
\nAnyway, I remember being crazy about the show during the first three seasons or so, then after that I lost interest in it. In the first season, I was crazy over Ross ‘cos he was so sweet. Then I decided that Ross was too much of a wimp, and then decided that Joey was my favourite ‘cos he’s cuter and so goofy. But his goofiness soon wore off, and after that I decided that Chandler was my favourite ‘cos I liked his wise cracks. As for the girls, of course everyone loved Rachel’s hair and ditsy Phoebe’s silly but funny songs, the most famous being the tuneless “Smelly Cat”. I never really liked Monica ‘cos she was just way too neurotic.
\nFor old times’ sake, I only watched the last four episodes of the final season just to see how it all ends. Nothing fantastic or anything, but everyone loves a good and happy ending. So hey.
\nIn a way, it’s like bidding goodbye to a long but forgotten friend, so it didn’t really ‘hurt’. It’s not like I’m suffering from withdrawal symptoms or anything like that. Frankly, these days I hardly watch TV. There’s nothing much that’s worth watching anyway. I guess if I had cable it would be a different matter. I think my home’s one of the few households in Singapore which doesn’t have cable.
\nThing is, I don’t see any need for it. If we do subscribe to it, my family members will metamorphise into couch potatoes after awhile ‘cos I’ll be taping the movies, my mum, sis and I will be watching the Cantonese drama serials and Taiwanese variety shows, and my Dad will be watching the English Premiere League matches. With all that distraction, I’ll definitely find myself glued to the TV…so better to not have it otherwise I’ll end up as a big piece of lard (I am a small piece already).
\nSo it’s byebye to Friends<\/i> and hello to nothing else, which is, I suppose, a good thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
